Ling Tian Sword God

One figure after another descended, each person exuding a strong aura. Among them were Shi Shaobao and Hu Shentong, unmistakably members of the Group Beast Society.

There was another group, equally robust and well-equipped. The leader rode his sword, revealing himself as Lin Chaonan and the Soaring Sky Swordsmen.

Apart from these people, there was also another powerful Sky Apex Realm expert. His body was robust, with muscles on his arms seemingly coiled like snakes, and he wore massive gloves, clearly possessing formidable strength.

After entering this altar space, all these eyes were eagerly scanning around, finally landing on that verdant sapling on top of the stone platform.

”That’s... the Dragon Yuan Fruit Tree!”

Lin Chaonan, Shi Shaobao, and the others were not ordinary individuals. They immediately recognized the origin of the Dragon Yuan Fruit Tree, their eyes lighting up instantly.

”Why is there only the Dragon Yuan Fruit Tree, and no Dragon Origin Fruit?”

Hu Shentong’s face darkened slightly, ”The Dragon Origin Fruit has been taken by someone. Who is it?”

All eyes swiftly fell upon the Prince Party and Green Mountain Association’s two groups. By the time they entered this altar region, only these two forces were around. Undoubtedly, the Dragon Origin Fruit was in the hands of these two forces.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and confrontational.

”Murong Ying, you can’t swallow three Dragon Origin Fruits alone. Why not take out two of them and let others share?”

In this deathly silence, Ling Chen suddenly turned his eyes and shouted at Murong Ying.

”What are you talking about, kid?”

Murong Ying was taken aback for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

As soon as Ling Chen finished speaking, all eyes turned towards Murong Ying, focusing entirely on him.

”Damn it!”

Mourong Ying knew perfectly well that Ling Chen was scheming to shift the blame, trying to draw all the attention to the Prince Party. Such a strategy was vicious.

By now, everyone probably thought he had the three Dragon Origin Fruits.

”Don’t listen to his nonsense. I don’t have any Dragon Origin Fruit with me.”

Murong Ying hurriedly explained.

But by this point, everyone had made up their minds, assuming Murong Ying had obtained the Dragon Origin Fruit, rendering his explanations useless.

”Whether you have the Dragon Origin Fruit or not, let us search you and we’ll know clearly.”

At this moment, Shi Shaobao grinned, eyeing Murong Ying greedily.

”Search me? Who do you think you are?”

Murong Ying sneered, scoffing at the idea. As the genius of the Azure Dragon Family, how could he allow himself to be searched? Besides, he had already claimed he didn’t have the Dragon Origin Fruit. If it was found on him here, wouldn’t it be contradictory? Where would he put his face?

”Refusing the search? Then that means the Dragon Origin Fruit is indeed with you, Murong Ying.”

Hu Shentong’s eyes flashed with greed. ”Your appetite is too big, wanting to swallow three Dragon Origin Fruits alone. People can be too greedy.”

”Indeed, hand over two Dragon Origin Fruits, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

Lin Chaonan also spoke up. Such rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as the Dragon Origin Fruit would greatly benefit him. If he could obtain it, his power could advance further, possibly reaching the Half-Saint Realm, and he would naturally be more confident.

”Indeed, I have the Dragon Origin Fruit, but let’s see who dares to take it from me! Let’s go!”

Mourong Ying laughed in anger. As a direct genius of the Azure Dragon Family, when had he ever been threatened like this? After leaving a harsh remark, he swept away and left the area with the members of the Prince Party.

”Chase!”

However, Lin Chaonan, Shi Shaobao, and the others were undeterred by Mourong Ying’s pride and quickly pursued. Compared to the allure of the Dragon Origin Fruit, the intimidation of the Azure Dragon Family meant little.

Most people chased after Murong Ying, while the Green Mountain Association members quietly took the opportunity to withdraw from the conflict.

...

Ten miles away, among desolate mountains.

”This time, we really have to thank Ling Chen. Otherwise, we would have suffered a big loss at the hands of the Prince Party.”

A group of people appeared in the mountain’s depths, none other than Sima Linyuan and the members of the Green Mountain Association.

”Indeed, but I have to admire Ling Chen for his bravery, daring to swallow the wildly potent Dragon Origin Fruit. One misstep, and he could explode and die.” Ye Ming said with some lingering fear.

It’s hard to imagine why Ling Chen took such a crazy step, seemingly gambling his own life.

”I only did it to protect myself. If I hadn’t, I’m afraid I’d already be dead at Tang Ze’s hands. I’d rather risk everything to carve out a way to live.”

Ling Chen shook his head, unwilling to mention having the Divine Dragon Jade gave him the courage to consume the Dragon Origin Fruit.

”Fortunately, your desperate gamble not only earned yourself a chance but also saved all of us in the Green Mountain Association,” Yuwen Jie said with a smile.

”That’s right; Ling Chen, we owe you a favor.”

Dong Yaotian said calmly.

”There’s no need. Without everyone’s consent, I swallowed the Dragon Origin Fruit alone. The fact that no one’s blaming me already shows great tolerance.”

Ling Chen smiled and shook his head.

”Hey, don’t say that. The Dragon Origin Fruit belongs to whoever’s destined to have it. If you hadn’t daringly swallowed it, the three Dragon Origin Fruits would probably have all been taken by those bastards from the Prince Party. You earned it with your strength; why not swallow it?”

Ye Ming patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, shaking his head.

”Ling Chen, you’re too humble. We of the Green Mountain Association may be out of worldly affairs but are loyal people. You made a massive contribution this time, and everyone saw it.”

Yuwen Jie said.

Hearing this, Ling Chen felt warmth in his heart. Since coming to the Nine Provinces Land, he had only encountered enemies who wanted to kill him. Now, he had finally found a group of like-minded people, ones he could truly call friends, leaving him pleasantly surprised.

”Alright, enough talk. We’ve all been through a lot and gained much on this journey, so let’s rest here and digest what we’ve learned.”

Sima Linyuan said to everyone.

”Good!”

The Green Mountain Association members had obtained various gains, and after the recent battle, they were highly exhausted and needed rest desperately.

Ling Chen naturally had no objections. He was seriously injured, and most of the medicinal power from the Dragon Origin Fruit still lingered in his body, needing calm reflection to refine it.
